    When I walk into the truck stop restroom and I need to sit and stay a minute and I’m looking for a good stall I’ll look at the first one and if it’s really clean that’ll do. If it’s not perfect I look at the next and the next and I’ll select the cleanest of the available ones. Now it can be conflicting if there’s a real clean stall and right next door is a guy that’s blowing out burritos. Do I go a few stalls down to obtain privacy and space away from the human sewer pipe over there to a dirtier stall or do I go for the clean stall and just try to hurry.

    How do you make your selection?

    Depends on how badly you need to go . If you've got jumpers at the door then any one will do.

    On the advice of 2 NFL quarterbacks & my State Farm agent I learned that a rigorous program of yoga will end the need to use any restroom.

    There was a mythbusters episode about the cleanest stall.
    Basically everyone passes the first one because everyone thinks it's the most used. In reality since everyone passes it, it's the least used one.

    It’s tough when you got a guy with projectile diarrhea in stall 1, and stall 2 is nice and clean and further down the stalls are all dirty.

    What to do ?

    I pick the one that dosen't have a hole drilled in the dividing wall with over the tank Frank tap dancing on the floor in the next stall.

    Doesn't matter I'm still ripping off a ton of toilet paper and putting it on the seat.

    If it's dirty I'll just spit on it and give it a wipe real quick.

    My dad was in the army and refused to wipe his ### and it was on top of the seat for some reason so I was trained for it.

    Identify as a woman and use the other bathroom.
    It may or may not be as horrific.
    Or identify as a bear and go into the woods behind the joint.
